As a practical training course required for professional licensure, the LPP does not qualify for OSAP funding. However, candidates enrolled in the LPP that have existing Ontario student loans are eligible for ‘Continuation of Interest-Free Status’. This allows candidates to maintain interest and payment-free status for previously issued Ontario government loans while they are enrolled in the LPP.
Candidates with existing Ontario student loans who have questions about this process should visit the Financial Aid office at their law school or at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly known as Ryerson University).

Continuation of Interest-Free Status is ONLY available for Ontario provincial student loan programs.
Toronto Metropolitan University and the University of Ottawa do not provide financial assistance for LPP candidates.
